Microsoft Azure for AWS Experts (40390B)

This course provides an in-depth discussion and practical hands-on training of Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Services (IaaS) including Azure Virtual Machines, Storage, Virtual Networking, Azure Active Directory and deployment options. This training is designed to relate IaaS technologies used in Amazon Web Services (AWS) to those used in Microsoft Azure.

Audience ProfileAfter completing this course, students will have a working understanding of:

Implementing and managing Virtual Machines and Storage

Implementing and managing Azure Virtual Networking

Implementing and managing Azure Resource Manager and Resource Groups

Implementing and managing Azure Active Directory

Comparing Microsoft Azure and AWS features and services

Azure AD fundamentals

Students will work their way through the online labs to become familiar with:

Creating a Linux Azure Virtual Machine

Configuring Linux Azure Virtual Machine Storage

Creating a Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine

Attaching additional storage using the Portal

Managing Azure Storage

Configuring User Defined Routes

Configuring Azure VNet Peering

Deploying a Geo-Redundant Solution with Traffic Manager

Automating Workloads with a Template

Working with Azure cross-platform command line tools

PrerequisitesThe audience profile is IT Professionals, and Enterprise Architects with cloud computing experience using Amazon Web Services. However, this course focuses on providing a basis for understanding and working hands-on with Azure IaaS services, so prior knowledge of AWS is not a requirement for learning those services.

Course ObjectivesAfter completing this course, students will have a working understanding of:
